Pillows Made To Look Like Your Pets Are Here To Claim A Place On The Couch

For as long people have been keeping them around, dogs and cats have held a virtual monopoly as the softest, snuggliest dog-or-cat-shaped things in the house. But the days of pets resting on their adorable laurels in this role uncontested might soon be numbered.

That's right. Our beloved animal companions have a cozy challenger, and an oddly familiar one at that - specially designed pillows that look just like them.

These plush creations are a genius product from U.S.-based printmaker Broderpress, operating on the accurate notion that there's no pillow more perfect than ones that look like your pet.

The concept is brilliant in its simplicity: Send in a photo of your dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig - or anything, to be honest - and the artists at Broderpress will silkscreen their likeness onto a pillow that fits their uniquely lovable shape.

Check out some examples of pets who've already been given the pillow treatment:
